I watched the movie, "Wanted" this past weekend and was horrified at what I saw. I'd read rumors that Angelina Jolie struggled with anorexia, but withheld judgment since it was only Hollywood rumor. Then I saw the movie. Angelina Jolie was so emaciated I couldn't believe it. She was scary thin.
I thought about all the months it takes to make a film and how many people must have worked with her during the process. Did no one see that this was abnormal? Did no one care enough about her to say something to her? To refuse to film her in this condition? And how many people watched this movie and didn't notice, thought it was normal or even aspired to be that thin? It's really disturbing that we allow this to be held up as an ideal of beauty.
